Multiple jobs are processed simultaneously on a given batch processing machine in parallel
batching. The resulting batch is called a p-batch. Batching can lead to reduced production …

Phasor measurement unit (PMU) technology is a need of the power system due to its better
resolution than conventional estimation devices used for wide-area monitoring. PMUs can …

With the rapid advancement of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, a variety of IoT applications
that require a real-time response and low latency have emerged. Fog computing has …

A greedy randomized adaptive search procedure (GRASP) is a multi-start metaheuristic for
combinatorial optimization problems, in which each iteration consists basically of two …

Improving the travel experience is a goal of tourist destinations. Tourists demand information
and services that help plan and organise the trips adapted to their preferences and …

Abstract Greedy Randomised Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) is one of the best-

Road freight transport is one of the sectors with the highest greenhouse gas emissions and
fuel consumption in the logistics industry. In recent years, due to the increase in carbon …

Many problems at the intersection of combinatorics and computer science require solving for
a permutation that optimally matches, ranks, or sorts some data. These problems usually …

In this paper, we study novel variants of the well‐known two‐echelon vehicle routing
problem in which a truck works on the first echelon to transport parcels and a fleet of drones …

In tourist sector, expert and intelligent systems should perform at least two main tasks or
services: point of interest recommendation and route generation. In this regard, the …
